SGA 4.18 ("The Kindred, part 1"), and other stuff too

[bironic]

Dear Sci Fi Channel,

If, as the earnest voiceover suggests, your main hook for the next episode is, "You won't believe what happens in the last five minutes," and it seems that those last five minutes may be important and suspenseful, DO NOT SHOW THE TWIST IN THE PREVIEW THAT YOU AIR A THOUSAND TIMES IN THE DAYS LEADING UP TO IT.

Thank you.

*is sad*

I wish I had gotten to see this episode, but we were at the wedding and besides the hotel TV doesn't get the Sci Fi channel. We'll watch it next Friday.

[bironic]

Well, you'll get to see part one and part two right after each other, like they should be watched.

And, hi!

Hi. I'll have to write about the guy at the reception who really liked to take photos of the bridesmaids when they were dancing together.

The bridesmaids dancing together, that is. And how the pastor invited God to the wedding and mentioned Jesus six times (I counted).

Did you know that wives were supposed to submit to their husbands? *rolls eyes*

I am loving the evolutionary step Michael has taken. VERY nice!

[bironic]

Figuratively and literally, eh?

YES! I was (and am) incredibly pissed at SciFi for ruining this episode. That said, I hope the returning character will soon disappear or die again for good. I haven't missed him a bit.

[bironic]

AAAAAH.

Yes, I'm betting he'll only be around for part two, and while I'm mildly curious as to how they're going to explain his presence, I will not be sorry to see him go again.

[bironic]

Heh. Cool. I just thought it was partly hilarious (in a farcical sort of way) and partly horrific.

Re: Carson, I was thinking a clone, but with a Replicator you'd be able to preserve his knowledge, which is what Michael needs him for. That would also tie this in to the mess SGA made of the Replicators, who've been dropped since mid-season. Unless they've got a new explanation up their sleeve.

[bironic]

LOL, oh God I hope not. And yeah, having been spoiled, I had (Michael and) Carson in mind when Rodney found that the Hoff library had been sacked and again when Michael told Teyla he'd had help. So. Yes. It has to be some kind of mind-preserving process.

I'm starting worry that I'm reading my friend's minds before I read their reactions - I swear, I wrote mine before reading yours, friendshipper's or xparrot's, yet at least one of my points is in each of yours...Very synchronous ;)

Ronon and Rodney watching each other behind John and Teyla's backs was officially the cutest thing in the episode, with Rodney 'Mozart is good for babies; this is better' McKay only slightly behind. It could have been a 'get at Rodney' part, but I liked that they played it as serious, and Teyla taking it as meant, rather than as the ego-trip we could have seen it as.

I'm with you on all these points - especially Michael vs Todd. So want to see that! I also want to know what Todd's real name is. Wraith don't seem to have them, which I find strangely fascinating...

[bironic]

Todd is holding back so much information from them, it's not even funny. I hope that one day they'll reach a level of trust with each other and he'll start to reveal details of what Wraith life is like. You know, if he doesn't die fighting Michael or something.

The phrase "hive mind" is especially appropriate in SGA fandom, don't you think?
